Mixed Media Art Recipes with DMC's Powders

Hello crafty peeps, how have you been?
Its mid of the month, and I am pretty sure you all are having a blast going through the inspiring posts on Frosted sugar powder, Crystal ice cubes, Sparkling dust from my fellow DT members. I am sharing my bit of inspiration today using these absolute favourites from the DMC product line.

Product brief -
Frosted sugar powder: These are grainy transparent powder which can be mixed with different other mediums and paints to create a more-natural subtle textures to our art background or grungy top-coats., or may be simply used to create a faux frosty look in our projects.
Crystal ice cubes: These are transparent mini-bead like grains of approx. size 2-3mm and perfect for adding strong textures. They can be mixed with different other mediums, paints, sprays .
Sparkling dust: They are the perfect touch of subtle shimmer that can transform any project into a glam doll within fraction of a second, be it on flowers, abstract textures, fancy arts, decors. They can be mixed with permanent colours in different shades to suit our crafting need.

I love creating natural textures in my art projects and couldn't resist using a combination of all these 3 ingredients in my creation.

I have created two Mixed media banners using Primarketing's (Donna Downey) large canvas banner as a base. I will share 5 ART RECIPES for using these 3 different mediums for adding textures and interests in your dimensional arts.



ART RECIPE 1. CRYSTAL  ICE  CUBES  + SPRAY + SOFT GEL - Mixed
Mix all the above ingredients together to add beaded texture in specific areas of your mixed media project


ART RECIPE 2. (a)Glossy Accent + Frosted sugar powder
                             (b)Glossy Accent + Sparkling dust
Use technique (a) or (b) or both to add sparkle and glamour to your embellishments. I have used this technique on the flowers, chipboard frame and a dangling foam ball.

ART RECIPE 3. Patina Rust Effect (Surface : Metals & Chipboards)
Frosted Sugar Powder + Prima Chakboard Paint(Sea Breeze)+ Dylusions paint(Vibrant Torquoise) + alcohol Inks in latte, Expresso, Patina + Sparkling dust
At first, cover your metal/chipboard surface with undiluted chalkboard paint, adding frosted Sugar Powder randomly. Once semi-dry, add the dylusions paint with a dry brush, alcohol Inks in latte, Expresso, Patina with the tip nozzle and Sparkling dust with a dry palette knife to create a shaded effect.

ART RECIPE 4. Crystal Ice Cubes + Frosted Sugar Powder + Sparkling dust + Finnabair Rust Paste (Gold Rust) - Mixed

ART RECIPE 5.Texture transformation
STEP 1
Frosted Sugar Powder + Crystal Ice Cubes + Clear Crackle + Modelling paste

STEP 2
Sprays + Alcohol inks + Artisan Powder Coffee


I used all these 5 Art recipes and created these two banners:







Products used:

Sparkling dust
Frosted sugar powder
Crystal Ice Cube

If you take a closer look you may find a bunch of interesting findings on these banners - mixed with some textures and embellishments. I hope you will enjoy it - as much as I did creating it and maybe you will try some of the ideas shown in your own projects? I hope I was able to convince you that you can create absolutely anything using these texture ingredients - as long as you are able to stick it and paint it the sky is the limit!
Keep creating - no mater what happens, remember to "make good art" (as Neil Gaiman said).
(This also applies to me, of course!)

  4. So, I think, where cartoons are safe for kids to Dragon Ball Super Latest Episodes, anime shouldn't be considered safe enough for them. But no matter how old you get, you can still enjoy it as it is.

  5. Unique creativity is another trait that is believed to be passed on to anyone that is born under the Dragon sign. They don't like rules and prefer to make up their own guidelines. These free spirits are, also, thought to be extroverts and very Dragon Ball Super HD Episodes.

  6. But in Britain there was different attitude to dragons. Dragons were sacred creatures in Celtic myths and they often symbolized Britons. So there is a special type of tattoos Welsh dragons tattoos that often reveal the proud for past and Celtic origin of the owner. Such tattoos have positive meaning and are widely spread in Britain and Watch Online Dragon Ball Super Episodes.

  7. Everything from the graphics style and the way the characters are shaded, to the over-the-top combat smacks of anime come to life. (Now I know I've used over-the-top twice now in this review, but what else do you call a game where one man drives his sword all the way through another man, and oh yeah, that WHOLE PLANET BEHIND HIM!?) This anime presentation really does suits the game's style and gonzo fights. It's just a Dragon Ball Super Latest Episodes shame all those cinematics aren't telling a better story.

  8. In this Sept. 23, 2014 photo made available by NASA, the SpaceX Dragon commercial cargo craft approaches the International Space Station. On a June 2017 supply run to the station, SpaceX will use this capsule. The milestone comes just two Dragon Ball Super New Episodes months after the launch of its first reused rocket booster.

  9. The online version called Power Levels is just one of many which shows Goku in super Saiyan mode fighting against a strong Vegeta another free online version of the game is called "dimension" where you have more flexibility to choose the fighters, in this version you can fight as Piccolo, Gohan or Goku and your opponents can be Cell, Vegeta or Freezer. Whoever you decide to battle remember that free game versions of this great saga are waiting for you all over the Watch Dragon Ball Super HD Episodes.
